It should also be noted that when the 2A was written people had lot more than just rifles. They had cannon and carronades and swivel guns too. Civilian ships were often outfitted with dozens of them.
All those things, as well as automatic weapons and short barreled shotguns have already been surrendered in the name of compromise. Now the anti-gunners want another compromise, universal registration and semi-automatic bans.
If we let them get away with it next it'll be "high powered sniper rifles" and "easily concealed handguns" that we are asked to surrender in the name of compromise.
No compromise on civil liberties.
